raloriaUgh...Ow....I has headache.
*sigh* That Fireworks Video will be the end of me, I swear. Ended up removing one of the songs I used, because I had to edit the video down to 10 min. or less for YouTube. Tried to find a shorter song to use in it's place....no dice. Edited more fireworks out of that section. After lots of searching and trying different songs, I finally got one to work. More tweaking and....success! Then I had to fix the end credits. Grrrr.... Stupid iMovie has sucky title settings/controls. So clunky. I fought, I deleted, I tried again, I cursed, and I thought I had something that worked. Exported the video (which took over half an hour) and....the credits didn't scroll! Aaaarrrrgggghhhhh! Re-did the credits differently and exported again (another 30 min.). It finally worked.
I uploaded it to YouTube....40 min. or so for that upload. It looked awful! The video was all jerky and choppy. Totally unacceptable. So I removed it. Bah. I've uploaded the video to SendSpace, so people can download it. At least that works. The plan now is to try uploading it to one of my Photobucket accounts. I'll do that later, since it takes so long. Hopefully you'll see this video soon. *is frustrated* Sorry it's taking so long. But after all the work I put into it, the way it played on YouTube was just terrible. I know YouTube is not the greatest for quality, but I couldn't stand to see it like that. And there wasn't any option to watch it in better quality either. Grrrrrr...
So again working on a video gave me a headache. Ouchies. The thing looks awesome, too...trust me. Even this edited version is very cool. I just want everyone to see it in the good quality it deserves.
